What is the appropriate amount of time for waiting to try for a baby after you have had one? After the baby is...

Question

What’s your opinion? I would love to know, how far is the age gap between your kids\sibling are? (Here’s a photo of my mom, sister and I🥰)

Answer

Any doctor will tell you to wait at least 12-18 months after giving birth before you try for another one to give your body time to properly heal.

Answer

Definitely not 3 or 6 months for me. I’d never want my kids so close in age, I feel it’s selfish (for us) and makes it to hard. My kids are almost 3 years apart.... didn’t get pregnant til 1st was 2.. I’ve seen friends have their kids 10 months apart, 1.5 years apart, 2 years apart and I see each of them struggle. I could never. 3 years was the best gap for us.

Answer

My kids are 22 months apart. My daughter was 13 months when I got pregnant with my son. It's important to have at least a year for your body to completely heal after having a baby.

Answer

Best medical advice would be give your body at least 1 year to heal.

Answer

Whenever you’re ready, and preferably when your doctor gives you the okay. For me, I don’t want to start trying again until my baby is 4 years old.

Answer

I would definately wait for at least a year but I wanted mine close together and ended up having them ten years apart 😂. They still have an amazing bond 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Medically, I’d wait at least a year. But overall, it’s how you feel. If you know you have fertility issues, then start sooner. If you get pregnant pretty easily, maybe wait the year. 
My kids are 4 years apart and I wish they were closer. However, having them spaced also had advantages. We were able to take first time parenting slower and really get into a rhythm before bringing more siblings into the mix.

Answer

I waited around a year both times. My first two are 21 months apart and second are exactly 2 years. I love their close gap. A two year gap for me was enough to enjoy their first year of babyhood while also having them be close in age. A three year gap is probably easier because by then the children are usually potty trained and out of the “ baby stage” but I absolutely love having my girls close in age.
